Perfectly Fluffy Grain-Free Pancakes

Sometimes things just work out for you. On the first try. Like these pancakes.

I was in a bad mood, symptomatic, and preparing to prep for a colonoscopy (yay, fun!) last week. All I wanted was pancakes. I wanted good pancakes. Actually, I don’t know that I cared if they were good. I just wanted something to spread Sunbutter sunflower seed butter all over. So, I had an idea in my head and I started throwing things in a bowl and the most perfectly light and fluffy pancakes that I’ve had since going grain-free 5 years ago emerged.

Perfectly Fluffy Grain-Free Pancakes

Makes about 8 medium sized pancakes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup buckwheat flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 eggs

1 tbs. maple syrup

1/2 cup full fat coconut milk (the canned variety, shaken well)*

1/2 cup coconut water

1 tbs. melted coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

*if shaking the can doesn’t de-seperate the coconut milk then pour it all in a small saucepan and heat over low heat until you’re able to mix everything well.

Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Add the wet ingredients and whisk well until everything is combined (do not over mix).

Heat a frying pan over medium heat with oil or non-stick spray of choice.

Using a 1/4 cup dry measure, pour batter into the pan, cooking pancakes on medium-low to medium heat. Cook each pancake for about 2 minutes, until it starts to bubble slightly and you can see the edges begin to harden. Flip pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden brown.

Pile high and top with your favorite fresh fruit, nut butter, and/or syrup.

PS- Do you all want more Lyme/treatment/life updates? I’m never sure whether that is useful and you want to be reading about that or if you would just prefer the food. Let me know in the comments!

So, my name is Victoria. I was recently diagnosed with chronic/long-term Lyme Disease. It has been one of the biggest reliefs of my life. I finally have an answer for all the pain I've been in for years. I'm 20.
I love to bake and cook. I created this blog to 1) chronicle my recovery 2) share my recipes. My recipes are geared to those with Lyme in terms of nutrition and anti-inflammatory, etc. My research has shown that eating a paleo/gluten-free/low-carb diet is best for those with Lyme, and although I try to stick with this I fail horribly at times. Follow along and feel free to contact me! :)
